The Hitler Youth was an organization that educated and trained boys and young men in Nazi principles. It grew out of the youth group that Adolf Hitler formed for the Nazi Party in the 1920s. Baldur von Schirach headed the Hitler Youth beginning in 1933. By 1935 almost 60 percent of German boys were enrolled in the program. On July 1, 1936, it became a state agency that all young “ Aryan” Germans—white Germans of Germanic or northern European ancestry—were expected to join. In German the organization was called Hitlerjugend.

Two leagues also existed for girls. The League of German Girls (Bund Deutscher Mädel) trained girls ages 14 to 18 for comradeship, domestic duties, and motherhood. Jungmädel (“Young Girls”) was an organization for girls ages 10 to 14. Arthur m English, French, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Welsh Mythology, Arthurian Romance
